International Classification:

B08B003/08

US Classification:

134038000, 134041000, 134026000

Abstract:

This invention is an ambient temperature method to strip cured paint from low temperature threshold plastic substrates; in addition, this novel method can be utilized to strip wood, steel, aluminum, brass, magnesium and non-ferrous substrates. A paint stripping composition based on a unique mixture of Boron methoxide, at least one alcohol, at least one surfactant and at least one evaporation inhibitor, at least one alkaline or acid activator and at least one additive and may contain at least one co-solvent and may be utilized as-is, water thin, in an immersion tank or thickened and applied by spray, brush or roller. More specifically, a paint stripping process invented to salvage, recover and recycle reject or sometimes called rework painted production parts, in-tact, without adversely affecting the parts substrate and form.

Samuel Miles - Rochester Hills MI, US

International Classification:

B08B007/00

US Classification:

134038000

Abstract:

A method of stripping cured paint from automotive plastic substrates. A paint stripping composition consisting bromide, an evaporation inhibitor and at least one additive to accelerate stripping performance. The method utilizes a mixture that can be applied at temperatures of ambient to 200 degrees F. The invention may be utilized in an immersion tank or thickened and applied by spray, brush, roller, cloth or scraper or applied in a vapor degreaser machine. More specifically, a paint stripping method invented to salvage, recover and recycle reject or sometimes-called paint-rework automotive plastic parts, intact, without adversely affecting the parts substrate or form.

International Classification:

C11D 7/32

US Classification:

510175000

Abstract:

A method of stripping cured paint from plastic, aluminum, brass, magnesium, galvanized steel, zinc die cast, and non-ferrous metal substrates, said method comprising: a) adding a stripping composition to a strip tank, consisting of a mixture of, not limited to, two synthetic detergent surface active agents, referenced in this invention as surfactants low in volatile organic compounds, specifically containing less than 50-percent by total weight or volume of any volatile organic compounds comprising 51% to 100% of the total weight or volume of the composition, with the remaining 0.5% to 49% balance consisting of additives; b) immersing said cured painted substrate in said strip tank containing said stripping composition; c) heating said stripping composition from 150 F. to 350 F for approximately 1-3 hours, wherein cured paint is removed from said substrate.

Inventors:

Samuel Lee Miles - Rochester MI

International Classification:

B08B 304

US Classification:

134 38

Abstract:

A method of stripping cured paint from a non-ferrous substrate comprising: a) adding a stripping composition to a strip tank, said stripping composition consisting an alkylphenol-hydroxypolyoxyethlene and triethanolamine; b) immersing said nonferrous substrate in said strip tank containing said stripping composition; and c) heating said stripping composition to 350. degree. F. for approximately 60 minutes, wherein cured paint is removed from said non-ferrous substrate. This method is environmentally safe and will not alter, attack, or stain the non-ferrous substrate.
